"One thing needs to be done in the world, and it would permanently solve the problems that arise from economically-inspired immigration (the movement of vast numbers of people from impoverished areas of he world to richer areas of the world).

That one thing would be to provide a decent standard of living and equally good employment opportunities and equally good social justice to people in every part of the world.

That would be the real solution. That would be the enlightened solution.

It hasn't been attempted, however, because humanity is presently disunited, divided against one another, and ruled by various elites of oligarchs, captains of industry and commerce...robber barons who prefer things just the way they are now...so they can get even richer.

And there is your problem, in a nutshell. We need world liberation from the forces presently running the show."...I agree LH - except we need regualtionism NOT liberalism to reduce the inequality within and between nations.

"and I believe his cultural insularity and paranoia translate to racism." ("Ruth")...I've travelled through about 40 countries - on a shoestring, staying among the people and NOT in Hiltons like many so-called "world leaders".
